The defense has to try and explain away the obvious... there isn't a single 'bite' mark where it looks like he was grabbed by the animal... but yet we have only linear tears... maybe teeth... maybe claws... who knows.

Russell describes why she believes the injuries on O'Keefe's arms were caused by a dog attack:

Dr. Russell testifies that after reviewing reports and pictures of John O'Keefe's arm, she believes the injuries are consistent with a large dog attack.

true - but

1) we can see what snow was there at 6am and have undisputed testimony he was "covered." to me that doesn't mean no part of his body was potentially visible... but you know... he was pretty covered. things are usually shades of grey.
2) we can convert the precipitation data to approx. inches of snow.
3) a body doesn't need to be buried or completely covered in snow to be obscured to some degree. if you have the stomach, go check out Ukraine war footage for endless examples.

You’re making my point for me. He was not completely covered and impossible to see. He was partially covered. So it’s not a sign of Karen’s guilt that she saw him.

Here it comes..the dog bite theory!!

For crying out loud it takes this long to bring to light what the cw has so desperately been trying to hide from the jury. 29 days of trial with distancing, ignoring and obfustcation around those arm wounds. Will the jury see that the cw were trying to distract from those wounds at all costs and draw the correct conclusions? Moo

What a way to try to question her knowledge on dog bites/attacks hey...

@BienickWCVB

Russell she did not initially review all the materials about O'Keefe's injuries, because she had technical difficulties opening the files. Says she has now reviewed them all.

Shades of grey.

A body does not have to be impossible to see for it to be highly improbable that someone would seemingly know exactly where it is and bee-line to the spot.

It's part of the puzzle, not a 100% indisputable thing meaning she is guilty.

 

[geevee]

Lally asked about the head injury and got an objection and sidebar - did he boot the door open to something she otherwise wouldn't have been able to testify about?

 

[Derph]

Is Lally really going to say that Dr Russell is looking for her 15 minutes of Fame out of this? It's not a good look going after this very qualified person and he's coming off as angry at her.

He's fumbling, won't be able to put a dent in her testimony imo, good!!! Calls yet another sidebar, poor old Lally!
